Really stupid belt question

[DrunkPenguin]

I want to replace all the belts in my car, minus the timing. I'm trying to order the belts online, but I dont know what these belts are officially called. I have the manual but its a little vague on general maintenence. Theres either 2 or 3 belts on the right side of the engine that I want to replace. What am I looking for?

I believe your talking about the alternator and power steering belts.

There is also an air conditioning belt too.

ok cool, i thought there were 3 belts but hard to tell at first glance. im gonna just drive to up by them locally, much easier.


Thanks fellas

ok i got all the belts off, when putting on the new ones is there a general rule to how tight they should be? i dont have a tensioner tool or anything. i read somewhere that they should have about 1/2 of play. does this sound good?
